Frequently asked questions

Can this work for recurring weekly webinars?

Yes. Teams can repeat the same timing structure and tune it based on each session's pacing.

How do I keep Q&A from taking over the full session?

Set a dedicated Q&A block and run warning cues so the host can close before hard stop.

Can I use this with only one operator?

Yes. One host can run the timer, then expand to a shared room workflow as the team grows.
